Twenty Years Later: Memories of the August 1991 Coup Attempt

On August 19, 1991, I was finishing a University of Texas summer study abroad program at Oxford (my first time in Europe), and had just returned to England - after an exhausting overnight bus trip - from a weekend in Paris. I was lying on the green in London's Hyde Park, nursing a cold I'd picked up in France, when the news came in: the putsch in Moscow, the crowds rallying, Perestroika itself in danger. By then I had almost completed my undergraduate degree in Russian Language and Literature, and the thought immediately seized me: To the barricades! I've got to book a flight and get over there right away! When I did eventually make it to Russia two years later, it was a very different country from the doomed USSR of that sunny August day ...

On the day of the coup, August 19, 1991, I walked into the HUB and saw a crowd fixed on a large television set (today, thanks to the ubiquitous Internet, such a scene would not be likely). Among them was Zoya Polack; I went over to stand next to her. As we watched the events unfold we said nothing. During a brief break in the telecast Zoya and I discussed our mutual concern that civil war would erupt over the future of the Soviet polity. Of course, it did not. But, that was a real fear at that moment. I learned shortly afterward that Slavic Department Professor Hal Swayze had died, ironically, that very morning. Prof. Swayze's death was ironic because he had been our specialist on Soviet literature. We didn't fully realize it then, but the fast-paced chain of events was unstoppable; and by Christmas it was clear to the world that the maximalist coup not only had failed but also had hastened the dawn of a new order---precisely what it had been meant to forestall. I don't remember exactly where I was when I watched the footage of the Russian tricolor being hoisted over the Kremlin, probably because I couldn't believe my eyes. It took me a long time to get used to the "new" Russia and the "former" Soviet Union and the new states that emerged from it. No doubt many others felt the same way, as evidenced in part by the variety of labels applied to these territories in the first decade after the Soviet collapse.

The attempted coup in August 1991 is not an event that has been seared into my memory. Circumstances were changing so rapidly across eastern Europe that almost every week since the spring of 1989 produced not just headline news but history making news. Although I arrived in Germany after the year of miracles, the feeling of being caught up in extraordinary times was still very much present. German reunification with all of its attendant challenges, the struggles for independence in the Baltic states, including the siege of the parliament in Vilnius, a surprisingly contested presidential election in Poland were all events that generated hope and anxiety in almost equal measure. Journalists I knew at the time were all twitchy, diving to answer the phone at the first ring since any call could lead to the next career-building assignment. In this context, news of the coup seemed somehow 'normal' as yet another tension-filled series of days in which everything, literally everything, seemed to hang in the balance. Seeing the pictures of tanks in Moscow that summer inevitably brought the images of the tanks in wintery Vilnius to mind. Only half a year separated the roll-out of troops in both cities. Again, force was being used in an attempt to forestall the collapse of the old order and again the citizens mobilized to defend their vision of the future. Only this time, Gorbachev was the victim not the architect of a reactionary backlash. As I followed the news of the coup, I hoped that the Vilnius precedent would hold true – that the outcomes would not be what the old guard intended. That nothing was certain except uncertainty.

In August of 1991 my friends from Leningrad, as it was still called then, were visiting us in Seattle and we watched the events on TV, accompanied by their often unprintable comments. But it was a year earlier that was really historic for me. It was still the era of glasnost and transition, with some things still old and some things new. There was the first Nabokov International Conference in Moscow in the spring of 1990, organized by the Library of World Literature, to which I was invited. This was the first time I went back after my emigration as a Jewish refugee in 1975 (enabled, of course by the Jackson Amendment!). I was apprehensive. My tension probably infected my elder daughter, who was 6 years old at the time. Known for hardly ever crying, she was sobbing and screaming "Please don't go" at the airport, and her screams became louder as I started going through the corridor to board the plane. I almost turned back. When I landed in Moscow, the first sight was of the border patrol agents and soldiers still in Soviet uniforms. I would have turned back but at this point I could not. As a part of the conference we went to Leningrad, the city where I was born and grew up. The very same friends who would watch the coup with us in Seattle a year later waited until dusk to drive me around the city because, in the twilight, the shabbiness and peeling paints of the buildings were magically masked. One of my American colleagues who was in Leningrad for the first time remarked: "It's obvious that it used to be a beautiful city." The conference went well; it was marvelous to see my old friends, and yet, on the way back, when I saw on the SAS map that we had crossed into Norway, I was strangely relieved that even if the plane crashed, it would no longer be over the territory of what was still the Soviet Union…

Professor, Education
In August, 1991, I was getting ready to go to the (then still) USSR for an international conference on education organized by the Ministry of Education to take place in Sochi. I had my plane tickets and visa in hand when the news came of the coup attempt. For a couple of days, I seriously wavered as to whether or not I would go. But then, after things resolved themselves and I spoke with some Russian colleagues, I decided to make the trip. All went well, and the conference was both productive and interesting (the focus was on introducing Soviet educational planners to Western models for research and development).
Two memories stand out: After arriving in Moscow and before flying to Sochi, a Russian friend drove me into the center of Moscow, to the area around the "White House" where the coup events had taken place. About a week had elapsed, but there were still signs of the disturbances everywhere -- graffiti were especially interesting, including "A good Communist is a dead Communist." But entrepreneurial spirit was also on view: posted on a wall were large photographic prints of crowds at the counter-coup demonstrations, with a sign saying, "If you see yourself here, call Kolya -- I can make you a print for 10 rubles."
Another distinct memory came from the conference in Sochi -- a tour one day took a group into Georgia, which by then had declared its independence and was erecting a border-crossing station. It looked imposing, but was not yet staffed. As we made our way to Lake Ritsa, we stopped for lunch in Gagra, at that time a pleasant resort on the coast of the Black Sea; a year later, it became the scene of a ferocious battle that was part of the secession of Abkhazia from Georgia.

I knew that my colleague and friend, Don Treadgold, was leading a tour in Russia, and I wished he were closer for I had often benefitted from his insights and his willingness to correct my thinking about a part of the world he knew well and I did not. I was saddened by the news for I believed in Gorbachev's greatness, recognized it as a crucial factor in the great events of 1989, and regarded them as ending the Cold War much as Truman had often predicted it would end.

I recall the coup very clearly, indeed. I was preparing to start my doctoral program in the History Department, having just finished my Masters at the Jackson School. Sadly, my grandmother died in mid-August, and so I went back to New York for her funeral. After a good Irish wake that lasted three eight-hour days, we held the funeral on August 19 in the middle of Hurricane Bob - a Category 2 storm that was crashing directly into New England that morning. We were in Queens, so we were not directly in its path, but the rain was coming sideways at us as we stood by her graveside, and there was much Irish levity at how grandma was going out with a bang. Looking to get out of the rain as quickly as we could, we found a bar of some kind close by and ordered drinks to warm up. A television was on over the bar, and they were running the news of the coup from CNN. I was riveted to the television, and refused to leave the bar for the post-funeral party until I had a handle on what was going on in Moscow. Years later, I had the opportunity to research the events of those days for Herb Ellison's television program on Yeltsin. I came across an unpublished Russian study of the coup at the Library of Congress, and brought it, along with other insights I found at the Library, to Herb's attention. So to this day, the fall of the Soviet Union is linked in my mind with Herb Ellison and my sainted Irish Grandmother. Sorry, Grandma...

Twenty years ago, I was a graduate student in the History Department at the University of Southern California during the months leading up to the collapse of the Soviet Union. I was one of two graduate students studying Soviet Central Asian History. It was very interesting as a student of history to be in such an exciting historical moment and to experience with your own eyes the rapid social and political changes occurring in the region that you were studying. I remember that I was taking a seminar course on Soviet Central Asian History and the most fascinating aspect was that we were discussing current events much more rather than past history. Of course, none of us ever anticipated the dissolution of Soviet Union. I was so happy when Kazakhstan declared sovereignty on October 25th 1990. Even more, I was extremely overjoyed to witness Kazakhstan finally, like other Soviet Republics, become an independent country in 1991. I wished that my father, who had to flee his homeland Kazakhstan as a one year old, could have witnessed that historical moment.

In August of 1991 I was hosting a friend from Moscow, reciprocating her hospitality when I stayed with her in 1990. Anna's daughter was in Moscow and she was enjoying Seattle when we learned of the coup. It was shocking to learn of the coup but to witness first-hand Anna's fear and anxiety as to what this would mean for her and her daughter so far away and her country was gripping. I had just started FRAEC and every event that occurred, positive or negative, meant flip flops for my stomach. The coup had both Anna and me on the edge; her not knowing what she would be returning to and me wondering how this would impact our small, nascent organization.
We were both very relieved when the coup ended peacefully and spellbound by the events that followed. That November we held our first major conference entitled "The Transformation of the Soviet Economy" and it was only a month later when the Soviet Union dissolved opening up many opportunities for Russians, my friend Anna, and for all of us working to bring our two countries together. The coup and the subsequent events was a pivotal time in world history; one that I will not forget.

This arrangement has been made in view of extra security cover to be provided to Jayalalithaa. She is scheduled to appear before the special court on October 20 to record her statement.
Special judge B M Mallikarjunaiah on Monday gave directions to police for making necessary security arrangements and to the registrar of city civil court for shifting the records and also for getting necessary notification issued by the high court.
Though the Flying training school at Jakkur was mooted as the venue, it did not find favour as it lacked court infrastructure.
The Supreme Court on September 12 ordered for recording of Jayalalithaa's statement on October 20, with an outer limit of two days.
The city police in their report have pointed out certain impediments in providing 'Z plus' category security cover to the city civil court complex where the special court is located.
They also pointed out that the court complex had been witnessing large gatherings recently in the wake of appearance of political personalities (B S Yeddyurappa, HD Kumaraswamy), and such huge gatherings not only would hamper court proceedings but also pose a serious law and order problem.
They said that thousands of people will be present in the court complex at any given point of time, since it houses many courts.
Following a petition by DMK leader K Anbazhagan, the trial in the disproportionate assets case was transferred to Bangalore in 2003.

MASHANTUCKET, CT (April 16, 2011) Vicious Victor Ortiz lived up to his nickname tonight, upsetting defending World Boxing Council (WBC) Welterweight Champion and previously unbeaten Andre Berto by 12-round decision, headlining the East-West Showdown card at MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods in Mashantucket, Connecticut. In the first six rounds, both fighters hit the canvas twice in arguably the best fight of 2011. It culminated with what is now the 2011 Fight of the Year frontrunner, as two of the best young fighters in the world amazingly kept an electric pace from start to finish. Ortiz came out firing right from the opening bell, cornering Berto with a series of punches, until the defending champion took a knee. Berto, however, came right back to drop Ortiz with a straight right at the end of the second round. The non-stop action went back-and-forth in the third through fifth rounds; Ortizs power and aggressiveness versus Bertos speed and quickness. In what is certainly to be the round of the year in round six, Berto decked Ortiz again with a big right in the sixth, and looked on the verge of finishing the Ventura, CA native. However, Berto, couldnt finish off Ortiz, who came back to drop Berto with a left cross moments before the bell sounded to end the round. Adding to the drama, in the tenth round referee Michael Ortega penalized Ortiz a point for hitting behind Bertos head. In the end, Ortiz won on all three judges scorecards 115-110, 114-112, and 114-111 to capture the WBC welterweight division title in thrilling fashion. Absolutely not, Ortiz responded to a question about this fight being redemption for his loss to Marcus Maidana. Maidana was never in my class. I never gave him respect, especially for not giving me a rematch. 147 lbs. is where Im king. I want to thank Andre Berto for the opportunity. He is a real champion. Berto, who was having his right thumb examined after the fight, stated, I just didnt feel it tonight. I just couldnt get off. Red-hot Puerto Rican welterweight prospect Thomas The French Dulorme (11-0, 10 KOs) continued to shine bright, stopping veteran Harrison Cuello in sensational fashion in the tonights chief supporting fight. Dulorme dropped Cuello and then registered his 10th consecutive knockout, when the budding star Dulorme caught his opponent with a devastating left hook, and referee Johnny Callas didnt bother to count-out the fallen Cuello. Dulorme is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, Gary Shaw Productions, and Universal Promotions, under the Team Puerto Rico banner. East-West Showdown: Berto vs. Ortiz, presented by DiBella Entertainment in association with Golden Boy Promotions, aired live on HBOs World Championship Boxing.

I have a lovely small escallonia "donard seedling" that I would like to plant under a maple tree in my garden. After reading up on the plant, it seems that it prefers full sun to partial shade. Does 'under a maple tree' count as full shade, or should it be alright?
Also, I've read varying accounts of how big it will grow - does anyone have one in their garden who can attest to their size? Thanks! |

I would find another location. The maple roots will compete with the escallonia and the maple will win :-) And while escallonia will tolerate some light shade, too much shade - like under a tree canopy - will make for very leggy growth and litle flowering. Escallonia is really a full sun plant. And a pretty good sized one at that - 5-6' tall and equally as wide is common but they can get much larger - 8-10'. |

Having someone to work out with definitely motivates you to try harder... That is if you're both trying. Because if either of you aren't then you end up seeing who tries the least. Yeah.
a work out buddy keeps you accountable. That's kind of how I got started...
I think I'll go to the gym this week. Maybe I'll take some dance classes... Dancing is a FUN work out. Since I have a membership, my gym has free hip-hop classes I can take. They're taught by regular (good) students. I hear they're lots of fun.
Yep. Gyms are helpful, but damn expensive, especially if you're just starting out.
Easy way to start is do a bunch of pushups and situps every day - try around 40, or find whatever your limit is, and work on improving it.
Run. Excellent at molding legs and core muscles - around the abs and lower back.
If you can, swim. It's fantastic at pretty much everthing. Upper body, lower body, breathing and aerobic work.
Mix it up. Don't do the same stuff for three days then take a four-day break. Make sure different exercises and break times are nicely spaced.
Stretch. Or your tight newly-formed muscles will end up restricting you more than your puny muscles did.
After doing these for a couple of months you should be feeling better.
One note to add to Sherman's ab/pushup workout is to make sure to do all parts of the abs, because working out only certain regions by doing a few similar exercises will only end up strengthening certain parts of your abs and will ultimately do little good for your entire abs. It's more important to go for holistic workouts when possible, regarding both parts training as well as aerobic/muscular fitness.

But now I'm back in England I just do:
Tap dance once a week
Badminton once a week
40 really, really, really ridiculously slow sit ups in the morning.
And fidgeting. It helps. A lot.

Tiffany's Second Quarter Sales And Earnings In Line With Company Expectations
Net sales highlights were as follows:
- Sales in the Americas region declined 1% to $434 million in the second quarter and rose 1% to $820 million in the first half. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales were unchanged in the quarter and rose 2% in the half; on that basis, comparable store sales declined 5% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half (sales declined 9% and 7% in the New York flagship store while comparable branch store sales declined 4% and 2%). In last year's second quarter, comparable store sales on a constant-exchange-rate basis had increased 41% in the New York flagship store and 19% in branch stores. Combined Internet and catalog sales in the Americas rose 3% in the second quarter (on top of a 16% increase last year) and 2% in the first half.
- In the Asia-Pacific region, total sales rose 1% to $174 million in the second quarter and 8% to $369 million in the first half. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales increased 3% and 9% in the quarter and half, while comparable store sales declined 5% in the quarter (on top of a 41% increase last year) and rose 2% in the half, due to mixed performance across the region.
- In Japan, total sales increased 11% to $159 million in the second quarter and 13% to $300 million in the first half. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, both total sales and comparable store sales rose 10% in the quarter and increased 11% in the half; comparable store sales had increased 8% in last year's second quarter.
- Sales in Europe declined 1% to $100 million in the second quarter and increased 1% to $188 million in the first half. On a constant-exchange-rate basis, total sales increased 8% in both the quarter and first half; comparable store sales increased 2% in the quarter (sales growth in overall continental Europe was mostly offset by relative softness in the U.K.) on top of an 11% increase last year, and rose 1% in the half.
- Other sales increased 12% to $20 million in the second quarter. During the quarter, five TIFFANY & CO. stores in the United Arab Emirates (three in Dubai and two in Abu Dhabi) were converted from independently-operated distribution to Company-operated retail stores. Other sales rose 3% to $28 million in the first half.
- The Company added nine stores in the second quarter: in Mexico City, in Shanghai and Nanjing, China and in Nice, France, and commenced operation of the five stores in the U.A.E. At July 31, 2012, the Company operated 260 stores (106 in the Americas, 61 in Asia-Pacific, 55 in Japan, 33 in Europe and five in the U.A.E.), compared with 236 stores (98 in the Americas, 52 in Asia-Pacific, 55 in Japan and 31 in Europe) a year ago.
Other financial highlights:
- Gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) was 56.3% in the second quarter and 56.8% in the first half, compared with 59.0% and 58.7% in the respective 2011 periods. The year-over-year declines largely resulted from higher product acquisition costs, as well as reduced sales leverage on fixed costs.
- SG&A (selling, general and administrative) expenses declined 8% in the second quarter, and in the first half were approximately equal to the prior year. However, excluding nonrecurring costs related to the relocation of Tiffany's New York headquarters staff in 2011's second quarter, SG&A expenses increased 1% in the quarter due to higher store occupancy costs mostly offset by the timing of marketing spending, and rose 6% in the half due to higher store occupancy and labor costs.
- Other expenses, net of $14.3 million in the second quarter were higher than $9.6 million in the prior year, with the largest portion of the increase related to higher interest expense. Other expenses, net of $24.8 million in the first half compared with $19.8 million in the prior year.
- The effective income tax rate was 34.6% in the second quarter, versus 31.2% a year ago when the Company had reversed a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. The effective rate was 34.5% in the first half, versus 33.4% a year ago.
- Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $367 million at July 31, 2012, versus $565 million a year ago. Short-term and long-term debt totaled $940 million at July 31, 2012 and represented 39% of stockholders' equity, compared with $694 million and 29% a year ago. During the second quarter, the Company issued $250 million of Senior Notes with a 4.40% coupon and principal payments due over a 10 to 30-year period. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay in full $60 million of 6.56% Senior Notes that matured in July and the remainder is for general corporate purposes including initially reducing short-term indebtedness under the revolving credit facility.
- Net inventories of $2.2 billion at July 31, 2012 were 21% higher than a year ago, due to approximately equal rates of growth in both finished goods and in combined raw material and work-in-process inventories. This reflected higher product acquisition costs, new store openings, growth in rough diamond sourcing and internal manufacturing, and expanded product assortments.
Mr. Kowalski added, "We think it is only prudent to maintain a cautious near-term outlook about global economic conditions and the effects on customer spending, with year-over-year growth comparisons in the next few months also being pressured by the strong increases we experienced last year. At the same time, we are determined to further strengthen Tiffany's competitive position by expanding our store and customer base and introducing enticing new designs, all intended to generate solid long-term financial performance."

Yesterday was definitely a day of exploration. After testing the slit scan rig during the day (more of that in tomorrow's post), I drove down to Birmingham, through torrential rain, to the circuit-bending session that I mentioned recently.
It was a long way to go but I enjoyed it, and learned a few useful techniques. Antonio persevered with his toy classroom, with its jaunty little tune and farewell phrase "A B C you later!" and another guy worked away at a Furby, inserting long wires that he could combine from a distance to get some scrambled noises.
And the result of my efforts? I dismantled the percussion beats toy, but despite trying to connect various parts at random to stumble over unusual effects, I didn't discover any. I turned my attention to the digger and eventually managed to dismantle it to reveal the electronics inside. I wired up an alternative power source to avoid the corroded contacts in the battery bay so that it finally worked, but, like the percussion beats toy, I wasn't able to do anything interesting with it.
Still, I enjoyed the session. Shame it's a long way to go. Apparently there may be a similar group starting in the Stoke-on-Trent area, so I may pursue other options closer to home, but I'll keep in touch with these guys in Birmingham because they run regular sessions as well as hold Processing and Arduino evenings.

Washington Nationals
Our expert from ScoutPRO.com,Shawn Childs, helps you prepare for your big fantasy baseball draft.Washington Nationals Team Projection
Get ready for your fantasy baseball draft by reading my player profiles of the 2014 Washington Nationals pitching staff.
1. SP Stephen Strasburg
Strasburg supporters are running for cover under the Jose Fernandez tree after his less than elite season in 2013. His K rate (9.4) was off from his best 2 seasons in the majors and his walk rate (2.8) was a career high (despite only rising slightly). Stephen was the toughest to hit in his career (.207) due to some growth against lefties (.218), but he issued 37 of 56 walks to LH batters. Strasburg allowed 2 runs or less in 21 of his 30 starts. He had a 9 games stretch from May 11th to July 2nd where he allowed 2 runs or less in every game (1.29 ERA). His command was off over his first 18 starts (3 walks or more 7 times). Over his last 12 starts, he walked more than 3 batters only once. I guess the knife for fantasy owners happened on July 12th when Stephen allowed 9 base runners and 7 runs in 2 innings to the hapless Marlins. His final numbers are attractive and he is an elite arm, but fantasy players want him to be one of the best in the game and create an edge. His AFB (95.3) is still elite, but it has declined during every season in the majors. Strasburg has an elite curveball (batters hit .136) and a plus changeup (batters hit .130). The drop in his K rate may be the result of a rising GB rate (51.5% - career high). In October, he had surgery on his right elbow to remove bone chips. Stephen is expected to be ready for spring training. All in all, Strasburg had growth in 2013. He struggled to get wins, which was due to the Nationals scoring 2 runs or less in 16 of his starts (Strasburg had a 1.89 ERA in those games). I believe his lack of success in K's was due to his fastball command. Batters can't touch his curveball or changeup, so he just needs to throw more strikes earlier in the count. Washington should score runs this year, so Strasburg has 20 win upside and 225+ K upside with 200 plus innings. Don't sleep at the wheel when you are on the clock and he is in play as your ace. We need a clean spring training with no elbow issues.
2. SP Gio Gonzalez
Gio had a tough April (5.34 ERA) and really struggled with walks over his first 14 starts of the year (39 walks in 84.7 innings - 4.1 walk rate). He was able to lower his walk rate to 3.0 over his last 110.7 innings. Gonzalez had success against both RH (.239) and LH (.204) batters, but 68 of his 76 walks were to righties (59/17 split in 2012). His win total was short just like Strasburg, but he pitched poorly in close, low scoring games (0-7 with a 4.30 ERA when Washington scored 2 runs or less). Gio failed to capitalize on some wins as the Nationals scored 6 runs or more 14 times (8-0) when he was on the mound. His AFB (92.0) was a step back from 2012. He throws a curveball as his #2 pitch, followed by an improving changeup. Furthermore, his GB rate (43.9%) was his lowest since 2008. Overall, his sinker lost value in 2013 (batters hit .333 against it), but they still can't touch his curveball (.108). Gonzalez is a nice major league arm with more upside if his command could make another step forward. His ERA has been rock solid over the last 4 seasons. Solid 15 win pitcher with 200+ K upside, but he has WHIP risk without growth in his walk rate.
3. SP Jordan Zimmerman
Zimmermann ended up being the most successful starter for the Nationals last season. He allowed 2 runs or less in 21 of his 32 starts, but he had one disaster start in each month from May to August. Jordan is a strike throwing machine with an elite walk rate (1.7), but his K rate (6.8) was a career low. He was 17-1 in games when Washington scored 3 runs or more, but he was 2-8 with a 4.45 ERA in games when they scored 2 runs or less. Zimmerman was very good against RH batters (.212), but was just average against lefties (.262). His AFB (93.9) was in line with 2012, while his slider continues to be his #2 pitch (followed by a curveball and show me changeup). His GB rate (47.6%) has risen over the last 2 seasons. Jordan had a 2.26 ERA in his 28 starts without his disaster outings (28 runs in 18 innings). He is very good major league arm, but his lack of K's makes him a step down from a fantasy ace. He has 15 win upside, but his run support might not repeat in 2014. Overall, he really needs a swing and miss off speed pitch against lefties to have growth in K's.
4. SP Doug Fister
The Tigers made a smart move by dumping Fister. He showed signs of decline with his jump in hits per 9 innings over the last 2 seasons (8.6 in 2011, 8.7 in 2012, and 9.9 in 2013). Doug has plus command (1.9) with a declining K rate (6.9). Fister struggled to get RH batters out (.302), and allowed 2 runs or less in 17 of his 32 starts. Doug had a bad run in late June to early July when he allowed 6 runs in 3 of 4 starts (19 runs and 37 base runners in 22.3 innings). His GB rate (54.3%) was a career high and it has increased over his last 3 seasons. In addition, his AFB (88.8) was in line with his 2012 season. His curveball is his #2 pitch, followed by a solid slider and an improving changeup. His velocity was shorter on his curveball and changeup in 2013. Last year, batters only had a tough time hitting his curveball (.187). Overall, Fister is a soft tosser that didn't have his best stuff in 2013. He is a GB pitcher, so maybe a few too many ground balls made it through the infield. His command will keep him in the game during most starts. Fister falls in the steady category with limited upside.
5. SP Tanner Roark
Roark would draw some attention from fantasy owners if they just look at his ERA (1.51) and his win/loss record (7-1). He has a career 4.04 ERA in the minors with 573 K's in 667.7 innings. He spent part of 3 seasons at AA, and went 6-17 at AAA in 2012 with a 4.39 ERA. His AFB (92.6) was just major league average, while his #2 pitch was a slider, followed by a curveball and changeup. Tanner was a GB pitcher (50.0%) during his first season. His command (1.8) was elite with the Nationals thanks to a plus first strike % (71%). However, his K rate (6.7) came in short. Roark dominated RH batters (.157 with no HR's allowed in 108 at bats), but he struggled to strike out LH batters (7 K's in 80 at bats - .263). I can't totally write him off as he did flash a plus season at High A in 2009 (10-0 with 2.70 ERA with 91 K's in 86.7 innings). His resume says he's a fraud, but his command gives him a chance at short term success. I don't trust him.
6. SP A.J. Cole
Cole struggled at High A (4.25 ERA), but he was able to get promoted to AA where he pitched at a high level (2.18 ERA with 49 K's in 45.3 innings). His command (2.1) and K rate (9.5) have been strong during his entire career. He has a mid 90's fastball with an upside curveball and a developing changeup. A.J. has flashed upside over the short term, but he has struggled when making a step up in competition. At this point, it is a close call between Nate Karns. Nate has the better overall resume (2.66 ERA with 362 K's in 304 innings), but Cole has the edge in command and age. A.J. may emerge as the 5th starter at some point this season.
7. SP Ross Detwiler
Detwiler allowed 3 runs or less during his first 9 starts of the year before fading in a pair of starts in June (17 base runners and 11 runs in 9.7 innings). His season ended in early July when he developed a back problem. Ross only threw over 100 pitches once. He had the best command (1.8) of his career, but his K rate (4.9) was a career low. His AFB (92.1) was lower than 2012 (threw it 88.0% of the time). The value of his curveball has declined in each of his last 3 seasons and his changeup barely has a pulse. He will compete for the 5th starting job, but Washington has suggested that he will pitch in relief in 2014. At this point of his career, he is a one dimensional pitcher.
8. CL Rafael Soriano
Soriano has saved over 40 games in 3 of his last 4 seasons. His command (2.3) was stronger than his last 2 years, but he had a huge drop in his K rate (6.9). Rafael struggled with LH batters (.274). In July and August, Soriano allowed 5 HR's in 22.7 innings, which led to a 5.56 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. He converted 43 of 49 saves. His slider had a huge drop in value (batters hit .297 against it with a .531 SLG %) and he only threw it 15.5% of the time, compared to 40.1% in 2012. His cutter ended up being his #1 pitch, while his AFB (91.5) was a career low. Overall, Soriano looks like a tough swing this year. I don't like the drop in velocity, I don't like the decline in the value of his slider, and I don't like the drop in K rate. Solid resume over the last 5 years and maybe he just wasn't healthy last season. The Nationals should win plus games, so the closer will have value in 2014.
9. RP Tyler Clippard
Clippard has been tough to hit over the last 5 seasons. His command (3.0) was the 2nd best of his career, while his K rate (9.3) was his lowest since 2008. He dominated both RH (.151) and LH (.152) batters, but his AFB (92.1) was his lowest since 2009. He throws a changeup as his # 2 pitch, followed by a curveball and a cutter. Tyler is a high FB pitcher (55.8%) and had a high HR/9 rate (1.1). Batters hit under .175 against every pitch he threw. Overall, his only negative is his walk rate. Every other thing points to closer ability. If Soriano fails, Clippard should get the first call.
10. RP Drew Storen
Storen has fallen out of favor in Washington and they would like to trade him. His command (2.8) and K rate (8.5) fell in line with his career resume, while his ERA (4.52) took a beating due less value on his four seam fastball (.304) and sinker (.364 - .558 SLG %). He allowed runs in 8 of his first 18 outings (11 runs - .5.21 ERA). Drew had a 2nd bad run in July when he allowed 14 runs over 8.3 innings. Storen pitched better over the last 2 months of the year (1.40 ERA), but didn't have success against RH (.268) or LH (.267 -. 485 SLG %). His AFB (93.9) has also declined in each of the last 2 years (was a career low last season). His slider is his #2 pitch, followed by an improving changeup. His drop in velocity is a concern, but I have a feeling he may emerge as an important part of the Nationals team this season.

What's more, the story will be personal, emotional, even confessional. And it will involve the highest stakes. Watson intends to explain how he scaled the heights, and how he earned contempt along the way. We know this because he puts it all right there at the top, in the scene with Seeds. A peculiar sense of mingled pride and sin was central to his book. In the course of his research he had arguably violated several unwritten rules of professional conduct, and had made enemies of some colleagues who found his behavior at best unbecoming and at worst unethical. Years afterward, Watson told the historian Horace Freeland Judson that he'd first thought of writing his story for The New Yorker under the header "Annals of Crime."
Watson's working title for the book was Honest Jim.
After his prologue in the alps, Watson begins at the beginning, with Francis Crick, his partner in crime. Watson was 23 and Crick was 35 when they met at the University of Cambridge, where Watson, an American, had come for post-doctoral study after receiving his PhD from Indiana University. The two men were colorful and cocky, not to mention arrogant. (The first line of Chapter One is famous: "I have never seen Francis Crick in a modest mood.") They bonded instantly over their sense that the secret of the gene was the most important problem in biology.
From the work of a little team of biologists at the Rockefeller Institute, in New York, they knew that genes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA. To the two young scientists, the problem of the gene seemed incredibly, almost impossibly alluring. Watson calls it "the Rosetta Stone for unraveling the true secret of life." He thinks DNA will prove the key to figuring out how genes determine, among other things, "the color of our hair, our eyes, most likely our comparative intelligence, and maybe even our potential to amuse others."
But nobody knew how DNA is put together. You can't figure out how a heart pumps until you anatomize its chambers, and you can't know how DNA works until you model its chemical structure. To Watson, this point seemed obvious. And yet most geneticists were not very interested in learning the chemical nature of the gene—which, to Watson, only proved that those geneticists were fools. He and Crick shared a contempt for many of their senior colleagues. Most old professors, Watson writes, are "not only narrowminded and dull, but also just stupid." He was convinced that building a model of the structure of DNA would do spectacular things for both biology and his own career.
There were, of course, obstacles. For one thing, their research plans were hampered by "an awkward personal situation." The only biologist in England working on the molecular structure of DNA was a friend of Crick's, a shy, somewhat slow-moving scientist named Maurice Wilkins. For all practical purposes, DNA was Wilkins's personal property, at least by the English rules of fair play, Watson writes, and "it would have looked very bad if Francis had jumped in on a problem that Maurice had worked over for several years." Wilkins's research was hobbled because he didn't get along with his assistant, Rosalind Franklin. Franklin was making the world's best X-ray pictures of DNA, but Wilkins couldn't stand her, and neither could Watson and Crick.
Meanwhile, Linus Pauling, whom Watson describes as the "world's greatest chemist," was also working on the problem of the structure of DNA. Being an American at Cal Tech, Pauling "was not subject to the confines of British fair play," writes Watson, who was terrified that Pauling would get there first. So young Watson and Crick raced for the gold. And Watson the narrator tells the story so adroitly that we enjoy watching them work together, like Woodward and Bernstein in All the President's Men. We root for them even when they do the slightly shady things that will later make a colleague snub Watson in the Alps. Watson and Crick go around Franklin's back by conniving a bit with Wilkins. They keep tabs on Pauling's progress by buddying up with his son Peter, a young biologist who is visiting Cambridge. When the elder Pauling makes a silly mistake that slows his research, Watson and Crick toast his failure.

Outer Banks' Highway 12 Breached, Broken
The state Department of Transportation says storm surge from Hurricane Irene has completely washed away segments of Highway 12 on Hatteras Island. The storm cut several channels through the road just north of Rodanthe. Highway 12 connects the island to the rest of the Outer Banks and the mainland. DOT spokeswoman Greer Beaty says much of the road is still impassible.
Greer Beaty: "We have significant issues on Highway 12. Those issues range from what we call breaches to sand covering a couple of miles of road, where basically a dune has just come across the road. There are many challenges that await us in our recovery efforts out on 12."
Routes for the general public have been cut off to Hatteras Island, which usually attracts thousands of tourists on Labor Day weekend. The DOT is using emergency ferries to get supplies and road crews to the island.

Phoenix Desert Vista was cooked. Paradise Valley had a 17-10 lead and first-and-goal at the 1-yard line. Less than five minutes remained in the game.
One more yard, and the Thunder's undefeated season was done.
Paradise Valley never got that yard; stuffed on four consecutive downs.
After watching film the next day, P.V. assistant Donnie Yantis said the ball crossed the goal line twice on those four downs, but it was too late for revisions.
On the ensuing possession. Bobby Wade (pictured at right) took a swing pass 60 yards for a touchdown to forge a tie at the end of regulation, scored on the first play of overtime, and tipped away the Trojans' fourth-down desperation rebuttal.
"It was sickening and spectacular to watch," said Yantis, now the head coach at Paradise Valley.
That was the 1998 state quarterfinals. Somehow, Wade ended the playoffs even better than he began.
Nine years ago this weekend, the Thunder met Phoenix Brophy, just like the schools will meet Saturday in this year's championship game, in one of the best state title games of the past decade.
Wade was the biggest reason.
The Broncos followed Paradise Valley's lead and managed to slow the Thunder's do-everything senior at the start.
"Slow" was the operative word against a guy who compiled 3,000 total yards and 41 touchdowns in 14 games, even though the Thunder did not score a touchdown in a Central Region win over Tempe Marcos de Niza.
Wade warmed up the chilly night at Sun Devil Stadium with 106 total yards on a second-quarter drive; a 45-yard kickoff return followed by a 61-yard touchdown catch on a first-and-32 play.
"The best I'd seen," said former Thunder teammate Derek Kennard Jr., now an assistant under Dan Hinds. "He was a phenomenal athlete. A lot of games he put the team on himself and did his thing."
In the second half, Wade scored again. And again. He ran, caught and returned. He briefly proved human with a muffed punt, then returned to his ways a few plays later when he blocked a Brophy field goal attempt.
"It was one of the best performances I've seen," former Brophy coach Tim Sanford said. "He could do so many things with the ball."
The Thunder came back from an early fourth-quarter deficit for the third time in the playoffs and Brophy's offense never got its say late in a 38-31 Thunder thriller. Instead, Wade had his way.
His first touchdown run (second overall) with four minutes left in the fourth quarter was a dance in cleats, as he juked three separate Brophy defenders. Two minutes later, he broke a tackle up the middle and ran 30 yards untouched for the game-winning score.
"Big play after big play," Kennard said.
Seemed only natural for Wade to end Brophy's last drive with his second interception of the night. And the late-game magic was not unlike the Paradise Valley quarterfinal game, or a 20-16 victory in a "pigpen" of mud against Kingman in the semifinals.
"The playoffs set us up," said Wade, now a receiver with the Minnesota Vikings. "We learned how to play from behind, which was something new. We'd played teams close in the season but had our way most of the time. We learned how to keep plugging away."
Even if you didn't watch him, Wade's statistics were staggering: 383 all-purpose yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions and a blocked kick. Championship numbers that haven't been matched since.
"I was excited to be on that stage at ASU," Wade said. "It was big-time."

Flag Day: Flag Retirement Ceremony with Boy Scout Troupe #400
LearningQuest in partnership with Patriotic Organizations in the Community present:
A Rally 'Round the Flag Day, Tuesday June 14 to celebrate the 234th birthday of the American Flag.
Albert Farrar and Boys Scouts of Troupe #400 will be on hand in the Library parking lot to present a program on the respect and responsibility we have to our Flag. The public is welcome to bring flags that need to be properly retired. The Boy Scouts will handle the flags with honor and care, retiring them through the correct retirement procedure. Those who bring flags to be retired may say a few words about why that flag was special, and even have the honor of place the flag in the pyre. This program will take place near the Library parking lot.
Please note: To fully honor our nation's Flag, all regularly scheduled youth programs will be canceled. We invite parents and children to participate in our Flag Day activities instead.

Businessman killed by robbers
Comment on this storyMothutlung, North West -
A North West businessman was killed by three men in Mothutlung village near Brits, police said on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old man, his son and a domestic worker, were fetching wood in the bush on Tuesday when three men attacked them. They wore balaclavas, Captain Tselane Nkala said.
Nkala said the man was hit with a sharp object on the head. His body was dumped in a canal.
"The suspects gave the domestic worker an unknown mixture to drink and left her tied up with a rope before they left with the man's son, (also tied up)."
She said they drove off to the house were they demanded the son show them where money was. They took it and two cellphones, and fled the scene.
Police were called by relatives in the same area who became suspicious when they only saw the car but not the owner, said Nkala.
"They called us after realising that it was a long (time) since they went to fetch the wood, (and) they were suspicious because they only saw the car outside."
She said police were investigating a case of murder, assault and theft. - Sapa

Can Ultra-Rich Virgin Galactic Ticketholders Stomach New Mexico Long Enough to Get to Space?
There's a whole mess of celebrities who've already signed up for $250,000 trips to outer space on Virgin Galactic, who'll be embarking from "Spaceport America" in southern New Mexico. But first, the area is going to need more luxury hotels and fine dining establishments, because my God, a roadside motel? Not even for the chance to go to ACTUAL SPACE.
This analysis comes courtesy of the Las Cruces News, which reports on the proceedings of the recent International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight. Apparently one of the speakers was former PayPal senior manager and current Virgin Galactic ticket holder Michael Blum. He's pretty psyched about his upcoming trip: "I'm going to space," he said. "Less than 600 people have been. It's a big event." Read More
